Social media isn’t the Internet. There’s a lot of people that don’t know that or they forget that.

6/ Reserve judgement for when you have used it. Until then, you’ve no facts to base your #riptwitter prediction on. Cheers. #twittertimeline

4/ If you’re threatening to leave Twitter over it then I do think you’re overreacting. Twitter isn’t a necessity in life. #twittertimeline

If Twitter was to stop tomorrow then I’m glad I still use an RSS reader to stay up to date with the people I like to follow.

Chicken Nuggets and Twitter

The perfect analogy of the relationship between Twitter and the user's of Twitter.

I don't think it's terrible or the end of the world. Life in a silo where you and I are the product. McDonald's doesn't ask the chickens whether they like the options for Chicken McNuggets. A similar thing. The main difference is the chicken probably couldn't say. Humans have opinions, feel disempowered, not heard, not loved, bored, and we like to be consulted. A good shitstorm provides temporary relief for all these ills. So for a while, venting, then life goes back to the normal humdrum.

Twitter's new timeline? by Dave Winer

5/ Also Twitter is free so while I might not agree with all of their new features I can’t really grumble. It’s free. #twittertimeline

2/ You can always opt out of using the new timeline as well. That’s good. #twittertimeline

1/ This new “out of order” timeline doesn’t sound bad at all. It will be mostly in order, just not all in order. #twittertimeline

2nd session of circuit training done this week. That two sessions, two weeks running. Just need to keep the momentum going next week.
